MakerBot And OUYA To Offer 3D Printable Cases

MakerBot has teamed up with OUYA, and the two companies will enable gamers to print their own cases for the OUYA games console, and the partnership between the two companies means that OUYA will create 3D design files for Thingiverse.com, which will then be printable on MakerBot 3D printers.

You will be able to create your own custom designed case for the OUYA console, the case will include a lid and a spring loaded button housing for the console.

We are pretty excited to be able to provide a 3D Printing Development Kit on Thingiverse.com for OUYA,” noted Bre Pettis, CEO of MakerBot. “OUYA is one of the most exciting new developments in the gaming world, and MakerBot is thrilled to be a part of it. The custom 3D printed console cases are also really cool.”

OUYA is an innovative, new game console that introduces a new category in video game entertainment by bringing an open experience – where any gamer creator can publish a game – together with the magic of console gaming on the television.

We suspect we will end up seeing quite a few cool custom cases for the OUYA.
